They were obviously hiding it from other Russians. No Russian trusts other Russians.

I seem to remember the Rus were a number of competing principalities based on cities that frequently waged war on each other.
As I remember some of the Rus princes withheld aid so the Mongols would destroy their rivals. In then end they were all destroyed
I see depressing similarities to political life in the US currently.

Interesting. If this were a History series, they were hiding the treasure from aliens.

What about Scythians? Or Huns? Or Magyars? Or Pechenegs?

....The hidden treasure was found in the forested bank of a ravine several hundred yards away from two small medieval settlements that had existed there....Ah...the First Forest Bank of Ryazan....Birch bark safety deposit containers for your valuables.

Vikings. Popular history with a western civilization slant emphasizes their raids on the British Isles but they routinely raided East as well.

Medieval Russians hid silver hoard before Mongol invasion: They weren't hiding it from the Mongols, but an earlier, unknown enemy
Probably hiding it from some Soros ancestor
